The increased revenue recognized under Topic 606 is due to higher tons shipped and a higher realized revenue rate in December 2018 versus December 2017. Under the previous accounting standard, December 2017 shipments would have been recognized as 2018 sales due to the fact that title and risk of loss does not transfer until payment is received from our customers.
